  1. I don't hate it anymore. I am not overly fond of it. I was born in the 70's and named Jennifer. Sigh. I was tired of being one of many. I never had less than 3-4 other Jennifers in my classes.  Now I go by Jenn and it is fine.

  2. Yeah, I was thinking of hiring someone to repair our deck. There is a broken railing on another side of the deck. I also need it cleaned well and re-stained. I'm thinking a handyman could do all of that. Surely a carpenter to make those repairs would be more expensive, I don't know.

     

    I let my dogs out and one of the ran to where the hot tub used to be and literally skidded to a stop at the edge of the deck. She used to jump up on the cover. Poor baby.

     

    Sounds like a plan to me. Sorry that this is cause you worry. I hate dealing with repairs! Poor puppy!

    I answered neither agree nor disagree on many becasue I felt that my answer would change based on the abilites of the child being taught. I teach my girls very differently.

  4. My OB told me to get Ferrous Gluconate not Ferrous sulfate. The gluconate it more readily absorbed and is not as harsh on the stomach. My iron was at 8. It really worked for me

     

    This is the one I use. (I still do as I have anemia issues even not PG). Take 3 per day but check with your doctor on the exact amount to take.

  5. One thing we ran into is that the age is 12 in CA and the federal law states that to have an online account the child must be 13. We have Kaiser and they push to do everything online and form the age of 12 -13 you can't. You can not have access to them via your account and they cannot setup their own. So on top of all the heinousness quoted above I can't email her dr. not set appointments, or order perscription refills.

     

    Also, (although DD can waive it) they can ask me to stay in the waiting room for the first 10 minutes of the appointment. 

     

    Yuck. just yuck.

  6. I voted ketchup and other. It depends on my mood. There are a couple of scenarios that decide what I have with tater tots and fries.

     

    1. I am in a British mood and have malt vinegar.

     

    2. Just ketchup becasue it is simple.

     

    3. We are having chicken nuggets with them so I need honey mustard.

     

    4. Nothing. Most likely because I am driving and I can't use a condiment.

     

     

  7. But he was a stranger. He tracked her so that he could keep running into her, get to know her family, and borrow the mom's phone.

     

    But wouldn't you type the password in if someone was going to use the phone?

     

     

    In reference to the bolded: I have two passwords. One to "open" the phone for use and one to download apps. They are different.

  8. That is a total bummer! So sorry.

     

    On a side note (if you have already examined this ignore me) When I worked I only brought home a minimal amount and it was enough to bump us to another tax bracket. We figured out that hubby brought home more money or when we changed our withholding we got a large tax return (enough to pay for a trip no problem) with me not working.

     

     

     

  9. The IV fluids maybe makeing the swelling worse. I puffed up like the marshmallow man when I hade those. Soaking towels in the epsom salt bath solution and wrapping them aound my legs helped more than the bath. I think it was because I was not comfortable in the bath tub and being in my fav. arem chair or bed helped me relax and then the epsom salts worked better.  It also allowed me to have my legs up which felt a little bit better.  

     

    I hope you find some relief!

  10. What I WANT is to not have to go to the hospital for birth. I want a redo on my last baby. I want him to turn head down and for my fluid levels to stay at a healthy level. What I want is a fantasy that no longer exists. I want to be able to do things in a low intervention/low impact way, without a fight. 

     

    And I feel horrible for wanting to not be pregnant. I want this baby, I just don't want to do this thing called pregnancy and delivery. Can I just skip ahead to being home with a healthy baby? :sad:

    Oh my heart aches for you. I soo totally get that feeling. With surprise #3(now 10 months) I longed for all of  the things that went sideways with #1 & #2 to magically not thave happened. I wanted my baby but did not want to be pregnant!  Don't feel horrible. It is ok to feel this way.

  11. My kids are very far apart. Between the 2nd and 3rd there is 6 years. We thought we were done and our little Sarah was wonderful surprise, We had nothing and everyone knew that and wanted to help. I think that a baby shower is very appropriate in this circumstance.

     

     

  12. I bought a set of Corningware dishes off of e-bay 15 years ago and I love them. Stoneware sets me teeth on edge when scrapped by silverware so I happend to find these. They are pricey new but you can find the on the used market. Never had a chip. Broke one when dropped on a granite counter top.
